Curse of the Garnet Dragon by David Nix II (top books to read .txt) π
In the beginning, Dragons and Mortals alike lived together in peace. As time went on, Mortals began to advance in technology and grow their population to the point where they needed more land and better technology in order to sustain themselves. They turned on their former allies, the mighty Dragons, and took over some of their lands. Their technology was advancing to a point that it began polluting the environment with chemicals harmful to the Dragons. The Dragon Broods strongest members gathered together and met with the Mortals to discuss the matter. The Mortals decided they had no need for the Dragons anymore and would take the whole of Vestom for themselves. This led to the Great War between Mortals and Dragons. Only one would remain victorious.
After the Great War, the Dragon Broods fought amongst themselves over land and the battle split them apart. Each brood claiming an area of land for themselves. Will their in-fighting cause the destruction of yet another brood? Will they be too weak for any future threats? Will one of their own grow to threaten them all... It remains to be seen who will perish and who will survive to see the end of the millennia.
The events of the past have brought about the appearance of the eldest Dragon Lords to bring peace to the land before the broods destroy themselves and the Dragons yet again face extinction at their own hands. Two dragons are born during this time of chaos and destruction, their powers threatening to rip the whole of Vestom apart.

Chapter Eight - The Future of Vestom
The broods started turning about looking in panic for the unseen cause of the shadows. They heard numerous roars from above and began to shrink away from each other in fear of what could cause the terryifying noise they were hearing. As the broods separated, leaving a wide gap between them, two dragons flew down from the clouds. Their bodies were pressed against each others, wings tucked tight as they dove for the ground. They let out another roar that shot out a jet of flame that twisted together, a beautiful topaz mixed with an eerie white quartz.
The two dragons landed between the opposing broods and stared around at them in disgust. They announced, "How dare yal try and destroy yourselves! Have you not paid attention to the last few millenniums? We are a dying race, on the edge of extinction. Do you wish to kill us all off?" King Brakle roars, "Who are you and where did you come from? There have been none of your kind around for millenniums!" The last of the quartz dragon's turned to him and said, "I am the last of my kind. I am Dragon Lord Quphos. I am fifteen thousand years old and I have been watching your petty war commence." The last of the topaz turned as well and announced her name, "I am Dragon Lord Azisrar, last of my kind as well. I have been in hiding with Quphos gathering my strength after the Great Mortal War tore this world apart. The only reason we have intervened is because we do not want another war to reshape this planet again or worse, destroy it."
As the Dragon broods stared at the two last survivors from before the Great Mortal War, they started to talk among themselves. They did not know what to do about the appearance of these two dragons, last of their kind. Lord Quphos roared so loud that all the other dragons went still in terror and stared at him. He said, "Stop your petty bickering and decide what shall happen. I can crush any of you without even trying if it comes to that, but I would prefer a peaceful solution where no one has to get hurt." Of course King Brakle has to bark up and say, "Just who gives you the right to say what we should do? I am the strongest leader of all the broods! I should be the one who says what is going to happen, not you!" At this outrage, Lord Quphos turns on him and slashes with both front claws, straight through King Brakles throat, his head rolling to the ground. As Lord Quphos withdraws his claws, he holds up King Brakles still beating dragon heart, the very essence of his being slowly dying. Lord Quphos then turns to the rest of the broods and says, "Would anyone else like to challenge me?"
As the rest of the broods stare in utter disbelief and shock, the dragon leaders approach them to discuss what they would have them. General Romento from the Amethyst brood steps forth to assume position over King Brakle's command. The two ancient dragons were taller than their younger kin and loomed about twenty feet over them.
